Show Notes
This week’s guest is Rachel Overvoll, a Somatic Sex and Intimacy Coach with Modern Intimacy and the author of Finding Feminism, a memoir that chronicles her journey breaking from a fundamentalist evangelical Christian upbringing and her healing from sexual trauma and domestic abuse. Rachel is also the author of The Breakup Journal, a just released book that offers hands-on, interactive prompts to help you heal from a fractured relationship.
This week, I share a sex therapy session with Rachel, where we focus on fantasies and desires, and how to communicate them with our partners. Gulp.
Afterwards, we discuss Rachel’s origin story and how she got here and how even experts can still experience trauma in their relationships.
PLUS!
-spontaneous vs. responsive desire
-desire discrepancy and the shame that comes from it
-the two types of fantasies – repetition agency vs. reparative
-the three most common themes in sex therapy
